Fengxian Jiangshan

"How to do how to do?"

Cao Kun, who also received information from Washington, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He already regarded the Washington meeting as the key to enhancing his prestige.But suddenly got the news that the Americans may change their attitude, and Japan will continue to occupy Shandong, which made Cao Kun suddenly fall into an unprecedented passivity.

On the one hand, Fengjun successfully brought Luda, and on the other hand, the Shandong issue is still unresolved. If this continues, what face will Cao Kun have? He will continue to control Beiyang and the Beijing regime!

But in the face of the great powers, he did not have the decisive courage to negotiate, which was really a dilemma.After thinking about it, Cao Kun invited his confidant Xia Shoutian over.

Xia Shoutian is a well-known scholar who served as an aide to Lao Yuan and is now Cao Kun's confidential secretary, so he is well-informed.But facing this situation, he also had a headache for a while.

"Marshal, this matter is a bit troublesome. According to news, the United States and Britain are all inclined to Japan. Although they have not made a clear statement, they all believe that Japan has special interests in Shandong. In other words, they want Japan to continue to stay in Shandong. Shandong. This shows that the big powers have reached a consensus, and it is no longer possible to use the method of using barbarians to control barbarians."

"That's right. These foreigners are really capricious. They are outright villains. Didn't the Americans say they want to support us and take back Shandong? They changed their minds so quickly, it's really disgusting!"

"The great powers are originally barbarians, who only understand fists and don't understand benevolence and righteousness. But in my opinion, if Shandong cannot be taken back, I am afraid that it will be extremely detrimental to the commander-in-chief's prestige, and the Fengjun and the Democratic Party are instigating from top to bottom. What kind of parliamentary elections are going to be held? I'm afraid that the great government of the central government will fall into their hands!"

"Do you have any advice, sir?"

Xia Shoutian closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Commander, I think we can simply push the issue out. Isn't Zhang Tinglan proud of safeguarding sovereignty, then let him come forward to negotiate the Shandong issue. If it can't be done, the halo on his head But it’s going to fade a lot.”

"If it's done, wouldn't it make us more incompetent?"

Xia Shoutian smiled and shook his head: "He can't do it. This time, the attitudes of the big powers are the same. He has no loopholes to take advantage of. No matter how strong the Feng army is, can it beat the United States, Britain and Japan?"

Cao Kun heard this.He also nodded slightly, but still had some doubts: "That fellow Zhang Tinglan is extremely cunning, would he easily borrow this hot potato?"

"That depends on what kind of bait the commander-in-chief puts out. Since Zhang Tinglan wants to snatch the parliament, the commander-in-chief might as well propose Liang Qichao as the speaker. Then the Congress will come forward to authorize it, so that Zhang Tinglan cannot refuse."

Cao Kun thought for a while.Finally a cruel heart.Nodded: "Okay, let's do it!"

Xia Shoutian also retreated from Cao Kun's mansion, and the old man was shocked by the cold wind, his back was covered in cold sweat.

Back home, I grabbed Yang Du immediately: "Xizi, I did as you said. Cao Kun was also fooled, but you are planning for Zhang Zhuoyan, I don't know what he promised you Good thing."

Yang Du smiled slightly: "Brother, since the Hongxian Monarchy, Du has been notorious, and what he has done now is nothing more than forgiveness. I only hope that this time I see the right person, and Zhang Zhuoyan can save the world." Fall!"

Xia Shoutian also shook his head: "However, I think this matter is really difficult."

"No matter how difficult it is, can you still be sad to go to war with the Japanese directly? It's not like they haven't fought before. It's enough for us to wait for the news."

……

Fengtian, handsome mansion.

"Everyone, please see that the Liaodong Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula are the gateways to defend Beijing and Tianjin. They are like two gates. As long as these two places are guarded, the Bohai Sea will be safe, and Beijing and Tianjin will be safe. But since the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War, Russia and Japan stole Luda successively, the British captured Weihaiwei, and Germany and Japan successively controlled Jiaozhou Bay. This is tantamount to tearing down the two gates. Beijing and Tianjin are all exposed to the direct threat of the big powers. This kind of situation is like a thorn in the back, like a thorn in the throat, making it difficult to sleep or eat."

Yang Yuting said loudly: "Now that we have taken Luda back, it is equivalent to closing half of the door, but this is not enough. We must also take back the Shandong Peninsula and seal the door. In this way, we are between the two peninsulas. With the construction of the airport and the deployment of submarines, the command of the Bohai Sea can be tightly controlled, and it will become much easier to control the Central Plains, otherwise I am afraid I will have nightmares all night."

What Yang Yuting said was also the reason why Zhang Tinglan paid attention to the Shandong issue. He still felt a little guilty. Historically, the Shandong issue was resolved at the Washington Conference. However, in this time and space, due to the rapid growth of Fengjun, This made the great powers afraid, so they constrained the Shandong issue and allowed Japan to continue to retain its power in China, thereby restricting China.

Since it was caused by this butterfly, he should clean it up by himself, and just as Yang Yuting analyzed, since Zhang Tinglan intends to take over Beijing, he has to consider safety issues.He can't be willing to be an emperor like Beiyang.

Since it is necessary to show its hands and feet, the safety of the old nest must always be guaranteed, so the Shandong issue must be resolved.The generals here didn't think so much. They just had a fight with the Japanese, and the Feng army won a complete victory. After several months of training, the troops have recovered.It's a big deal to fight the Japanese again. In short, everyone is full of confidence.

At this time, a secretary suddenly sent a telegram from Cao Kun. Zhang Tinglan was overjoyed when he saw it, and circulated it to other people. Everyone was full of surprise.

"Zhengchou has no excuse to interfere in Shandong, so Cao Kun sent us a big gift package. I think we should really thank this Marshal Cao." When the telegram reached Li Jinglin, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. The same goes for everyone else.

Zhang Tinglan was also very happy. Cao Kun not only handed over the power of disposal to himself, but also sent a speaker out, in case he didn't want to accept it, it was really thoughtful.

"Since that's the case, we can't disappoint Cao Kun's good intentions, let Mr. Liang go to Beijing immediately, and then set up a special committee on the Shandong issue in the parliament, and everything will be logical."

Then Zhang Tinglan looked at everyone present: "Whether it is peace or war, strong force is the pillar. From now on, the second division and the seventh division will form the advance army, and Li Jinglin will be the commander. A bomber brigade, the navy's submarines and torpedo boats are all ready to launch a campaign to recover Qingdao at any time!"

"Understood!" Li Jinglin, Shen Honglie and others all stood up and saluted. During the last battle with the Japanese, the other main divisions showed their talents on the Korean peninsula. Only the second division was on the front line of Luda to stop the Japanese.Although it is also a great contribution, everyone is holding back their energy and wants to show their skills.

Therefore, after Li Jinglin received the order, he immediately mobilized his troops, mobilized them immediately, stationed in Shanhaiguan, and made all preparations for entering the customs. Depart from Jiaozhou Bay.

Just when Fengjun was almost ready, Zhang Tinglan issued a telegram to the whole country, expressing Fengjun's attitude on the Shandong issue.

Shandong is the hometown of saints, and Japanese pirates are absolutely not allowed to steal. The [-] million Chinese compatriots should have the courage to fight to the death.When the Germans occupied Jiaozhou Bay, the Manchu Qing did not send troops, and the Japanese seized Jiaozhou Bay again, but the Republic of China still did not send troops.By now, if we don't send troops, we will lose this land forever!

Power equals justice. In this jungle world, the strong prey on the weak, and morality does not make sense at all. We can only resort to war. The 20 Fengjun soldiers are ready to fight against the Japanese pirates at any time.

Finally, we urge Washington to understand the demands of the Chinese people, return Qingdao peacefully, and resolve the Shandong issue smoothly. Otherwise, we have to solve the problem in our own way.

A telegram was written with a murderous look, especially the frequent use of the words "Japanese pirates", which showed unprecedented toughness. There are countless people in various countries who slander China, but the Chinese dare to call Japan "Japanese pirates". I was also infected by this kind of arrogance. Immediately, demonstrations all over the country were like tides, and the calls for the complete return of Shandong became higher and higher.

"Marshal, how can you let Zhang Tinglan deal with Qingdao's problems? Isn't this a fire?"

After Wu Peifu saw Zhang Tinglan's electricity, he returned to Beijing from Luoyang in a hurry. After he felt the pressure of the Fengjun, he felt that the implementation of reforms became more and more inevitable, so he returned to Henan and strongly promoted the realization of land to the tiller.As a result, at this time, the Shandong issue broke out, which caught Wu Peifu by surprise.

"Zhang Tinglan took this opportunity to blatantly send the army to the pass. We have no excuse to stop it. Regardless of whether the Shandong issue is resolved or not, a knife is on our hearts. Tens of thousands of tigers and wolves. It can kill us at any time, this move is too stinky!" Wu Peifu said mercilessly.

Cao Kun also did not expect that Feng Jun would dare to directly threaten with force. Zhang Tinglan's vigor far exceeded Cao Kun's imagination. After all, it involved the United States, Britain, Japan and other countries. According to common sense, they should first negotiate and then take action Who would have thought that Zhang Tinglan would directly set up a battle formation, and immediately caught Cao Kun by surprise.

"Ziyu, I was also confused for a while, but since Zhang Tinglan wants to fight, let him fight the Japanese, and we can just sit back and watch the tigers fight!"

Wu Peifu also let out a long sigh, and there was no other way.At this time, news finally came from Washington. The United States and Britain also felt China's tough attitude. They did not support Japan's occupation of Shandong, but proposed to suspend the delivery of Shandong.

As for when it will be delivered, it will be decided through consultation between China and Japan. Of course, the United States and Britain have also proposed that this is just an initiative and does not have any binding force.After Zhang Tinglan got the news, he ordered the advance army to go south to Shandong without hesitation!
